I have a 1995 Honda Accord...I had a friend change my brakes and rotors - But to find out he couldnt change the rotors, Cuz they are pressed on....I told another guy mechanic that says he is able to get them off - Is there a way he can, I dont want to be left witht he same problem then have to go take it to a shop and spend 3 times as much.
There's no such thing as a pressed on brake rotor on any Honda. When you have the calipers and brackets off spray the threaded lugs and the right angle where the rotor meets the wheel bearing hub with Blaster Solvent. Let them sit for an hour.Wrap the back side of the rotors with a heavy dead blow hammer. The rotors will then pop off Before installing new rotors clean the hubs with a cylindrical wire brush in a 3/8 drive drill to remove the rust. Before mounting the new rotors smear on some anti-seize inside the the center hole of the rotor as well as the surface that lays against the bearing hub. The rotors will never stick on again.

Honda Accord Brake Rotors
All those folks who answered that no Honda's have press-on rotors or that there is no such thing have clearly never seen a 93-97 Accord. Those models use rotors which are indeed pressed on to the hub as you have already discovered, then bolted on for good measure. Instead of the usual 1-hour replacement like 99% of cars that use floating rotors these book for 3.5 hours. Big fun. If your mechanic guy is a real mechanic guy with real tools like a hydraulic press then yes, this should be routine stuff for him. This is not a do it in the backyard kind of job. There are several technique's for separating the rotor from the hub. At my shop the preferred method is to unbolt the entire knuckle and put the whole works in the shop press.
